Building template overview

The Template Builder page allows you to build a customized template by configuring both physical and virtual components. On the Template Builder page, you can set the component properties. For example: you can create a template that just provisions physical servers with OS on them, or creates storage volumes, creates clusters or VMs, or deploy applications on VMs.

This page displays the graphical representation of the topology created within a particular template.

  • NOTE: Initially, a newly created or a cloned template appears in a Draft state on the Template page and remains in the same state until published.
The following component types can be configured in a template:

  • Storage

  • Server

  • Cluster

  • Virtual Machine

  • Application

  • NOTE: While building a template, it is recommended to first provision the physical resources, then configure virtual resources and lastly configure application settings to be deployed on the resources.

On this page, you can:

  • Build and Publish a template

  • Delete a Template

  • Import a Template

  • Deploy a Service

  • NOTE: The Deploy Service functionality is applicable only on published templates.
